Happy April!

Important reminders:

  • Please email me if you are able to volunteer for our upcoming field trip in May. See the School Messenger for more information.
  • April 17th is our Family Open House Night. We have been working very hard to create beautiful documentation panels to show you. In addition, we are also excited to show you some of our writing, literacy stations and poetry when you come visit. There will also be prizes, games, and food trucks! See the poster below if you are interested in donating gently used books for our students.

Here is what we have been up to:

Poetry - We started writing poems. This is going to be showcased on our documentation panels. We learned how to write similes, haikus and acrostic poems this week. 
 

 

 

 

 

Science - We are learning about Earth Systems. We learned about the four spheres: biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.
 

 

 

 

Math - Algebra is a big hit! We learned about order of operations and equality this week. It was fun for students to complete my challenge - creating different expressions to achieve a target number. 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Thank you cards for Mr. John :)
 

 

Social Studies - We are learning about palaeontology and fossils. We watched a documentary on Borealopelta and filled in our See, Think, Wonder chart.

 
 

New Literacy Stations - We learned some new literacy stations this week! We are going to try to complete them independently next week.

Hello 4B Families! Important reminders: Our Family Math Night has been cancelled, as schools are not able to host evening events due to the CUPE Local 40 strike. If plans are made in the future to reschedule, we will communicate details at that time. Thanks for your understanding! Next week, the weather is supposed to be warmer. This will mean that the playground will be slushy and muddy. Please help your child dress in footwear that will keep their feet dry. Running shoes are not the safest or best choice for playing outside in this type of weather. All students (from K-5) should always keep a change of clothes in their backpacks that they can change into if they get wet or muddy. This includes socks, pants, shirts and underwear. Having clothes to change into will ensure they are comfortable and that they classroom is staying clean. Here is what we have been up to this week: Literacy Stations - Below is the success criteria and expectations for our literacy stations. We had a convers...

Hello everyone, I have the BEST students :) Here is what we have been up to up this week: Writing - We are learning about procedural writing. We practiced writing instructions on our whiteboards about simple things (how to tie your shoelaces, how to build a fort, how to do long division). We then practiced writing in our writing journal.                      Gratitude - We wrote about what makes us smile :) Science - We are learning about static electricity. Ask your child about this! Math - We started learning about long division. We will continue practicing next week. We took a short break from it to learn about collecting data and graphing. As we are moving towards more complex math concepts, it is really important to be fluent with your multiplication facts.          Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm! Important Dates January 27 - Report Cards for K-5 available online within your MyCBE parent account. (...
